Disrespect For President Hurts Us In The World

Since the inauguration of President Barack Obama, the Republican Party has done everything it can to humiliate and embarrass him. What I can't understand is, why?

Republican leaders say they just disagree with his policies. That doesn't fly or hold water. You mean to say that a man who was elected by the majority of the American people twice has no good ideas or policies that Republicans can support? Just think what could have been accomplished to improve this country if the Republicans had given this man the same chance to lead this country as every other president. I only hope that the American voters can see through the charade put on by Republican members of Congress.

These members are not only going against the wishes of the majority, but also against the best interest of our great country. Can't they put their politics and hatred aside long enough to see how their actions make us look to the world? Is there any wonder why Vladimir Putin has decided to start his "Mother Russia" moves? He looks over here and sees a disorganized U.S. government incapable of responding quickly to his moves or even our own Homeland Security funding.

In other words, we cannot lead the free world when we have a bunch of guys who can't get over the fact that a black man outsmarted them and got elected twice.
